braving the weather for a cruise

Summer Catch up

Renee's 30th Birthday

30 degrees!!

Renee and Lois celebrated their birthdays on Mother's Day... May 12th.
It was FREEZING (literally) but our hearts and laughter kept us all toasty warm.
We celebrated at Lake Sippo with family and friends.
Trevor: the masked man


Lake Sippo
I drove down to Ashland and enjoyed the hospitality of the Starkey's on their pontoon boat.  
Cindy, Harvey, Donna, Larry and I spent quality time together and made another happy memory.

Nature on the lake

Larry's yard work supreme
And, finally, I adopted a dog- for six days!
Sadly, she was far too active (very high maintenance) for this almost 64 year old to keep up with.
Her name was Lexi. She was a 7 month old yellow lab that had spent too much time caged and untrained.
I feel guilty and will think long and hard before I allow myself another impulsive mistake.
Sorry, Lexi.
Forgive me.

Good bye, little Lexi...

  1. It's too bad you had to give up Lexi, but the real tragedy were her first owners...people shouldn't get pets if they aren't going to train them..I know that had to be hard for you to do. Donna's yard is beautiful..like the Garden of Eden..and I recognize that birdhouse!

  2. Someone in your family is a great baker! The cake and cookies are beautiful and look delish! I can hear the family laughter and fun not even being there. I bet there was a card game involved too. Lol
    The pics of our get together were beautiful, but then you are an award winning photographer. Love that Lake Sippo. Where is it?
    Talk to you soon now that the wedding is over.....
